[CAUT] gorilla glue

[dan l tassin]

Jim,

Try Toluene.
You can buy it at Lowes by the gallon.
It's used in the AirCraft Industry to loosen solvents, glues, contact
cements, etc., for
removal of panels, wood pieces, etc.  I once worked on helicopters. 
That's the stuff
that's used for glue softening/removal in the hangers.  Be sure to use
your gloves, 
plenty of ventilation and air flow.  One doesn't want to smell / breath
that stuff.  But, >>>  IT  WORKS !!!
Oh, and it air drys quickly.  So, soak the glue / parts  =  that's OK.

Dan Tassin, RPT
